HOW TO HARVEST MONEY FROM LOCAL CHICKEN In Africa.
Start with 20 chicken in January. End year with over 300 Local chicken.
For those seeking info on local hens, here is my personal analysis, from personal experience.
If you started with 20 hens. At the end of the year you can easily have 300+ chickens. If you put your effort to it! This is how:
Buy 20 hens that are ready to lay and 3 mature c***s. Always keep the ratio of males to females at 1 c**k to 7-10 females for fertilization purposes. That way you're sure your eggs are fertilized.
Month 1, they lay.
Month two they hatch.
Month 3 they rear their chicks. Once the chicks are one month old, they don't need their mothers for warmth. So withdraw the mother when the chicks are one month old (at the end of calendar month 3) and rear the chicks yourself till they are 2.5 months old before you let them on their own (free range)!
This is meant to force the hen to start laying again. We doing business not letting nature take it course! Come on.
Month 4, the hens take what we call a "Laying break" to adopt to not having their chicks!
Month 5, the hens start to lay again.
Month 6, they hatch again.
Month 7, they rear the chicks (process repeats itself)! Withdraw the mother at the end of month 7.
Month 8, they are on the laying break.
Month 9 they lay again.
Month 10 they hatch.
Month 11, they rear. Withdraw mother at end of month 11.
Month 12, they take the break, waiting for month 1 of the next year to start over again.
A few things to note:
1. You can only practically do this up to 5 times for one hen before it's "tired"!
2. For every cycle, if you stay strict to the process, you get a week accrued for every hatching cycle because hens hatch after 21 days and in the post, I assumed a month for that. So you might squeeze a one month for the hens.
3. Put 8 eggs for every hen to hatch. In most cases, they'll hatch the entire 8 eggs, and for the poor hatchers, they'll hatch 7. Don't be too greedy. 8 has a good chance of hatching them all, as opposed to doing 10+ and end up "spoiling" eggs!
4. If you take care of the chicks in a closed environment away from stray cats and other predators, you should have 5 mature hens for every hatch-cycle, per hen.
5. If you manage to get 5 hens for the 8 eggs hatched and you had 20 hens, you'll have 100 new hens for the first cycle. There are three cycles for every hen per year. That's a good 300 news hens. Plus your local 20 hens, you have 320. Let's just say 300 for the sake of it.
6. By the way, by the time the hen is watching for the third time in the year, the first batch of chicks will already be hatching too. NIIICE!
7. But remember you have an assume 50/50 for c***s and " layers"! So you have 150 c***s, and 150 layers!
8. If you sell 100 mature market in the Nairobi market, it's waaaay better than trying to win the "Lotto sio Ndoto" con-game.
In all this, you gotta put your mind, effort, money and most importantly, time to it. Don't look at the work right now, look at the end product.
And another btw, one local hen lays 15-18 eggs before wanting to hatch, if well taken care of that is. Let's say 15 eggs, give it 8 eggs to hatch and sell the other 7 eggs x 20 hens x 300/= per egg, that's some 42,000/= ugx to buy yaka tokens.
Always make sure you give the chickens the "newest" eggs for hatching. Eggs 15 days old have a 20% chance to hatch, 12 day old eggs have a 30% hatch rate. Eggs 10 days old have a 50% hatch chance. If it is 7 days, it shoots to 80%. Less than 7 days have a 90+% chance to hatch unless conditions like temperature and humidity fluctuate.
After hens hatch 5 times, sell them and rear the newer ones, they are rendered salvage, they don't lay that much. For those with bigger spaces, do paddocks for easier identification of ages for sale. Always maintain your "floor stock" at 300 hens and 50 c***s for easier management and space.
With this, you'll find out that you're collecting 200 eggs every day X 30 days = 6000 eggs less 2500 for hatching, you sell 3500 eggs every 4 months. That's 1,050,000/= ugx in 4 months.
Sell 500 hens 250 c***s and 250 layers, at an average worst price of local 20,000/= ugx , and that is 10,000,000 per year. /= ugx Plus returns from eggs 55 X 3 cycles totals 14,525,000/= ugx a year. Locals only take about 20-25% of budget. Say 25%. Pocket the rest 10,885,000/= ugx Average 875,000/= a month and you don't wake up at 5 to go to work to come back home at 10 PM.
More time for family. A balanced diet for your family. Well, this is theory. The practicals have much more fun and some hardships. But it's fun doing locals.
And the money is tax free. Unless you feel charitable enough to give to the government. Lol. Make it a side hustle and it'll turn full time.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: FEED them, WATER them, VACCINATE them, and give them MEDICATION at first sight of symptoms of illness. I can't stress that enough.
Have fun farming people!!!

I made My FIRST MILLION - UgX in oil and gas sector.
I sold fuel in mineral water bottles in neighboring country (South Sudan - Juba, fuel stations were still scarce) in 2007/8, just after the independence agreement of 2005.
The most interesting part about making my first million and fuel business. I started the fuel vending business by helping the older guys (I was 17 by then) who had been selling fuel on the streets for some time now. I would help them and get commission.
I went from earning commission to buying my first 20ltr jerrycan of petrol in 2 weeks. In 3 to 5 month, I was having stock of upto 5 jerrycans. Older guys were having mostly 1 to 2 jerrycans in stock. If you come at the stage and want fuel in many litres, 15, 20 etc, they direct you to Fahad.
One day I was robbed one 20ltr jerrycan plus some cash on gunpoint by a someone who disguised as a customer and wanted 20ltr jerrycan. I sent him to me, since I was the one having that much fuel. We were to go with the fuel and collect the money using his bike, it was night time. Whole story for another time. To cut it short.
My ka small, illegal street fuel vending business grew from earning commission per jerrycan sold to a, 550 dollars business in 3 month. I was 18 yr old. A school dropout! In a foreign country!
Thats how I made my first million in Ugx. I also misused all the money though. Teenage things! But I learnt valuable money lessons and got good experience about money, life, people.
How did you make your first 1m in your country currency?

Nigerian 🇳🇬 Billionaire Femi Otedola in an interview, was asked:
"Sir what can you remember made you a happy man in life?"
Femi said: “I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness.
The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted.
Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the lustre of valuable things does not last long.
Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.
The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy 200 wheelchairs for some disabled children.
At the friend's request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs. But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children.
There I gave these wheel chairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.
It was as if they had arrived at a picnic s⁸pot where they are sharing a jackpot wining.
I felt real joy inside me. When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly.
I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else? The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely.
This child said: “I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognize you and thank you once again.

Here are 10 brutal truths that every single person needs to hear.
1. You're going to die and you have no idea when.
Stop pretending that you're invincible. Acknowledge the fact of your own mortality, and then start structuring your life in a more meaningful way.
2. Your material wealth won't make you a better or happier person.
Even if you're one of the lucky ones who achieves his or her materialistic dreams, money only amplifies that which was already present.
3. Your obsession with finding happiness is what prevents its attainment.
Happiness is always present in your life--it's just a matter of connecting to it and allowing it to flow through you that's challenging.
4. Donating money does less than donating time.
Giving your time is a way to change your perception and create a memory for yourself and others that will last forever.
5. You can't make everyone happy, and if you try, you'll lose yourself.
Stop trying to please, and start respecting your values, principles, and autonomy.
6. Your achievements and successes won't matter on your deathbed.
When your time has come to transition from this reality, you won't be thinking about that raise; you'll be thinking about the relationships you've made--so start acting accordingly.
7. Your talent means nothing without consistent effort and practice.
Some of the most talented people in the world never move out from their parent's basement.
8. Nobody cares how difficult your life is, and you are the author of your life's story.
Stop looking for people to give you sympathy and start creating the life story you want to read.
9. Investing in yourself isn't selfish. It's the most worthwhile thing you can do.
You have to put on your own gas mask to save the person sitting right next to you.
10. Time is your most valuable asset--you need to prioritize how you spend it.
You have the power and responsibility to decide what you do with the time you have, so choose wisely.
